In this episode, Jim1537 and his wife, Meremystic, talk about how to make sense of your emotions and how they dramatically impact your spiritual journey.

In this episode:

The human struggle with emotions

The tendency to take our emotions too seriously

The relationship between emotional intensity and reality

The connection between emotions and karma

Viewing our emotions as positive or negative

Separating intuition and emotion

Understanding our emotional tape loops

And much, much, more….

For all of us, to be human means to struggle with emotions. In fact, much of our sense of self-perception and identity is based on our emotions. Examining the interplay between how our emotions and our thoughts tie into our karma and our overall spiritual evolution helps us master those emotions, make better choices and ultimately, foster a perspective of non-attachment.

In episode ten, Jim1537 and his wife, Meremystic, talk about the meaningful and transformational role of goals and dreams in our spiritual journey.

In this episode:

How dreams are an inherent part of our journey

Ties into our past lives, karma, dharma and the evolution of the soul

How talents and abilities connect to our goals and dreams

Does having the dream necessarily mean achieving it?

Lessons we learn through striving for a goal

The motivational and transformational aspects of goals and dreams

And much, much more….

How do we evaluate the role of goals and dreams in our spiritual journey? Are we supposed to be striving for non-attachment or, focusing on our deepest desires so we can manifest them? By examining the interconnection of the dreams we want to achieve and the lessons we are here to learn, we begin to see our goals in a new perspective that can enlighten us as well as transform and empower our decisions and choices.

Self-help books and systems are a valid option for those trying to improve and heal their lives. But what do we do when the system we are practicing is not giving us results? In this episode, we explore the barriers to true personal growth and change, why they happen and how to deal with them. By understanding the factors that are holding us back from growth, we can help tailor a system that opens the door to realizing our full potential.

We are back with episode 8 of Jim1537’s Metaphysical Tools for Transformation spiritual podcast. This episode is titled Everything Happens for a Reason.

This episode covers:

Spiritual Sayings and Aphorisms

Looking at choices from both the subjective and objective viewpoints

The difference between the human and the spiritual viewpoints

Emotionally charged words like mistake and right and wrong and the personal and societal guilt they trigger

Decisions, choices and cusp experiences

How expectations affect our perspective

The value of experience

We constantly hear spiritual phrases such as: Everything happens for a reason, everything happens for the highest good, there are no mistakes, and there is no right or wrong, only consequences. In this episode, we explore the meaning and the application of those sayings and how emotionally charged the idea of a mistake can be. We look at how events in our lives fit into the big picture of our soul’s multi-lifetime journeys.

After an extended break, my wife, Meremystic, and I are back with a new Podcast episode. We hope that you’ll find this newest episode both entertaining and enlightening.

Special Book Episode: Pets, Psychics, and Psychic Attack. In podcast episode 7, we first discuss my current book: When Out Pets Leave Us: Animals in the Spirit World.

We talk about:

The spiritual and personal reasons for writing the book

Frequently asked questions about animals in the spirit world

Coping with grief for a beloved pet

Common misconceptions about what happens to animals in the afterlife

Reviews and reactions to the book

We also give to a behind the scenes look at the two books I am currently in the process of completing. The first book, still untitled, is an in-depth look at psychics and the professional psychic world.

We discuss:

The various types of readers and readings available

What type of consultation may be right for you

The things to avoid (such as scam artists)

The benefits that a quality consultation provides.

The second book I’m currently working on is about psychic attack. The book is intended as a detailed treatment of the subject. In this episode, we discuss several aspects of what the book will cover:

Practically all religions and spiritual teachings champion the practice of gratitude – and it can’t be overstated just how much it works wonders in our lives. As the holidays approach, I thought it would be a great idea to use Thanksgiving, a time when we are already supposed to be thankful as a commemoration, reminder, and motivational tool to not only practice gratitude now, but to learn to make it a daily habit.

In this episode:

The importance of gratitude

What gratitude is and how it changes the world around us

Practicing the “attitude of gratitude”

The benefits of practicing gratitude

What to do when gratitude doesn’t come naturaly

A gratitude toolbox

And much, much more….

However, the pressures of hoiday stress, frustration with where we’re at with our lives currnetly, as well as not knowing how to make gratitude a part of our routine can make it seem like a daunting task. Even if we have the best of intentions, we may not know what we need to do.

In the 6th MTFT Podcast episode, my wife, Meremystic, and I clearly explain and offer many tools that you can use through this holiday season and beyond to make your personal gratitude journey, correctly and effectively. Spiritually and metaphysically speaking, having an attitude of gratitude is one of the most powerful and transformational tools that the divine universe affords each of us.

The fifth Podcast episode begins by establishing the timeless truth that all of us are on a spiritual journey, whether we are cognizant of that fact or not. But that is only the beginning….

In this episode:

What about when we consciously decide to embark on our own personal spiritual journey?

With such a choice, what happens in our lives?

Is there one right way to walk this potentially life-altering path?

Is it the same, or is it different for each of us?

How do we get there and what tools can assist us in that process?

And much, much more….

In the Podcast, Jim1537 and his wife, Meremystic, attempt to address these complicated questions and multi-faceted issues head on. Ultimately, this episode offers a detailed overview, multidemensional insights and answers to the many questions, variables and components that are involved in making one of the most important journeys we will ever make. That is our spiritual journey.

The fourth podcast episode explores how the very survival mechanisms that we cling to, the ones that we feel are keeping us alive are actually doing the exact opposite.

In this episode:

What are defense mechanisms and what role do they play in our lives?

How our rationalizations and defense mechanisms work together

Why we rationalize our our own behavior

The role of emotional intensity and how it affects our perception

The appropriateness of our defensive reactions

intellectual vs. emotional understanding

It’s complicated as a defensive reaction

How do we make our emotions work for us?

And much, much more….

In spite of what we believe, our defenses often harm us by preventing us from moving forward rather than from being harmed. Our rationalizations cause us to convince ourselves that our own falsehoods and self-delusions are true, while the pop culture phrase of “It’s complicated” serves to give us the across-the-board excuse that the issues we struggle with are outside of our own control. Jim1537 and his wife, Meremystic, tackle these issues head on by sorting through the many layers we all need to work through in order to transform our lives for the better. Ultimately, this episode provides us with the tools we need to navigate our journeys on earth from the core of our spiritual being in order to achieve our divine purpose on earth.
